I didn't mean to imply ADM took the official extended version and improved on it.

I meant when ADM incorporated the deleted scenes, he just did a better job of it than they did.  (For that reason I really believe some lowlevel hack added the scenes for TV and that it is not a 'Director's Cut'.)

Man, I really hope that is true that ADM is working on a Half-Blood Prince extended edition! His other HP extended editions are all in a box set of mine waiting to be complete! :)

Whenever we watch want to watch Harry here, we always pop in ADM's versions, because they feel more complete. I was worried that he stopped making them. So yeah, I am greatly looking forward to Half-Blood Prince extended, as well as Deathly Hallows (1 & 2) in the future!

Thanks for all the hard work adigitalman!

Oooh, maybe we'll get a Deathly Hollows extended and cut together into a single 6 hour film or something... wait am I getting too far ahead?

Is ADM not okay or just retired?

There's a new Harry Potter in theaters and HBP never got the extended treatment.

Very sad.  I always looked forward to his latest work.

I don't know if we should expect anything more from ADM in the Harry Potter series, but has anyone had the opportunity to check out if there is worth while deleted content on Deathly Hallows 1?

I've been sort of holding back on this title since I have the weird feeling that well see an official Deathly Hallows 'Whole Bloody Affair' sort of thing talked about in the near future.

Edit: And hoping to not be TOO off topic, if no one else is going to tackle Half-Blood Prince, I've been thinking I'd start putting together an extended edition later this week.

Don't expect menus (unless someone wants to volunteer some), and I'm not sure I'm even going to do a DVD9 release (unless there is serious demand for it).

I live but I am busy.  Thought you all deserved that much of a check in.  Keep hope.

I would be interested in an edit that reordered the scenes and made it into one film.

The problem is what would you cut and or add?

Most of the ADM links are dead according to several conversations on FE.org. I know there are some that will be re-upped but I don't know exactly which ones.

Happy new year folks.  Still busy in the day job, but did some HD editing for my own sanity over the holidays.  I have Wiz of Oz and HP6 completed in 1080p.  I finished Superman Returns in 1080p a couple of years ago but never released it.  I'm contemplating adding in the Return to Krypton scene now that it resurfaced before it ever gets seen.  I haven't invested in the 1080p Superman Boxed Set yet.

I miss the time I used to have to do this and hang out with all of you guys.  I'm hopeful that may change one day soon.  Time will tell.

Until then, keep editing, keep watching, and keep hoping for better stuff!

p.s. I used the U.S. version of Austin Powers on all 3 films.

Updates to the initial post regarding:

• Superman Returns
• The Wizard of Oz
• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

IN BLU RAY!!!!!!  And so it begins, folks.  I've missed you all.

A couple questions for you about HPB since I have a mostly completed extended edit I was working on.

Did you color correct the deleted scenes?  They don't match the scenes in the film.

Also, did you fix the scene that was split to cover up the deleted scene with Harry/Hermione discussing the Marauder's map?

In the theatrical cut, in order to hide that a scene was deleted, the editor cut a scene in half and moved the first part before Harry finds Ron mooning for Romilda and the rest following the scene.  It's actually quite awkward and the script confirms this change.
